The Pioneer Boys of the Yellowstone - Lost in the Land of Wonders

St. George Rathborne

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "The Pioneer Boys of the Yellowstone," St. George Rathborne captivates readers with a spirited adventure that recounts the challenges and triumphs of young pioneers in the untamed wilderness of Yellowstone. Through a vivid narrative interwoven with rich descriptions and an engaging prose style, Rathborne delves into themes of bravery, friendship, and the indomitable spirit of youth against the backdrop of America's westward expansion in the late 19th century. Set against a historical context that celebrates the rugged circumstances surrounding the exploration of America's nature-rich landscapes, the book stands as both a thrilling tale and a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit. St. George Rathborne, a prolific writer of adventure narratives and an enthusiastic advocate for youth literature, drew upon his own experiences and deep-seated love for nature to craft this engaging tale. His writings often reflect a profound appreciation for the American frontier and its impact on young minds. Rathborne's commitment to portraying positive youth experiences likely inspired his desire to create characters who embody resilience and courage amid adversity. I highly recommend "The Pioneer Boys of the Yellowstone" to readers of all ages who seek a blend of adventure and moral lessons. Through Rathborne's adept storytelling, readers will not only find excitement but also an inspiring reflection on the values of perseverance and camaraderie that resonate through the ages.

The ABCs of Queer History

Seema Yasmin

A Through-the-Alphabet Celebration of Queer History in the US, from the Publisher of the New York Times Bestseller The ABCs of Black History   In this book brimming with P for Pride, writer and poet Seema Yasmin celebrates all the joys and challenges of queer history in the United States through lively, rhyming verse. This is a book of people, of ideas, of accomplishments and events. It’s a book about Allies and Ancestors, about Belonging and Being accepted, about Hope, Knowledge, and Love. About historic moments like Stonewall, and how it changed the world. And all about Trailblazers, like Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, Josephine Baker, Harvey Milk, Barbara Jordan, George Takei, Elliot Page, and Sally Ride. And ultimately, it’s a book to help kids learn a different kind of ABCs—not just words like apple, ball or cat, but rather the essence of what it means to be diverse, to be equitable, to be inclusive. That no one counts unless we all count, and how we must open our eyes and ears, minds and hearts, to hear everyone’s story and understand and celebrate their experience.
